The track looks like a hoot to ride. Lots of flow and faster than the usual tracks. Hopefully that translates into great racing.

Dude, motocross is about different track conditions. A dry track does not ruin the race.

Say what? 2:06-2:08 lap times are actually slightly slow compared to most tracks. They shoot for 2 minutes.

Looks bad for passing. I've heard multiple guys like JT$ say that as well. May be a holeshot follow the leader kind of day. Perfect Webb track in that regard.

Alex Martin said it was the worst dust bowl he's ever seen during press day or whatever it was in the video.

Nationals, and SX is supposed to have roost chunks flying. Not dust blowing.

Wonder if they are going to keep it for practice days. Track looks fun.

Sitting here watching the press day videos, are they serious with this track? Looks like a hammered mid week practice track. Why in the world would they hold a pro national here?

We’ll see how it shapes up for the actual race.
Fucking dummy... Track looks great in real time.. Dummy.

All you guys complaining about the track need to post an apology after that 250 moto. Doesn't get any better than that!

Not every track on the schedule is going to be Red Bud. Say what you want about Pala, but this track is providing some great battles.

Love the track. Rough enough to challenge everyone but not so rutted that you can’t choose a different line if you want. A little “jumpy” for my taste but overall really like it. Was not expecting that.

The back hill area provides more than enough viewing of The whole track. If you were skeptical and stayed home like I thought of doing you made a mistake. Cept they ran out of beer up here. Track is bad a$$!!!

All of the races were great. It is too bad that you guys didn't get to see the 125 race on TV. For being so short, it may have been the best race of the day.

Besides the "Talladega" first turn and Mt. Saint Helens, I couldn't tell the difference from the TV broadcast. Looked the exact same to me and I've been racing at Glenn Helen since the '80s.

Lol ok guy. The elevation changes aren't even close.

Anyway, I found Pala to be surprisingly decent. Just a little too jumpy.

I rode Zaca plenty of times when it got hard packed and slick.

Langston said during the track map segment they cut out part of the track because lap times were too long.

Well I have to eat it on that one. Pala produced some amazing racing. Happy I was so wrong. Laughing
